Not really, this season was really the only season that they've had an elite defense at Texas and that can mostly be attributed to the Canadians and Balbay.

Sadler reminds me a lot of Kevin O'Neill actually. Great defensive coach, poor recruiter, little-to-no NCAA tournament appearances or success over his career. It will be interesting to see if O'Neill can do anything at USC over the next few years, where it should be relatively easy to recruit good basketball players.

Yea, that's a pretty good comparison. Although O'Neill had a SS in his resume. It's funny that in most of those jobs he failed quickly and the AD launched him after three years. Makes me cringe that KSU held onto Wooly for six. UGH!
O'Neill must be a good interview. Cause he gets hired a lot.

O'Neill is hilarious. Always good for an funny (and usually insightful) comment or two with the media.

I remember when he somehow turned my Toronto Raptors with Vince Carter into one of the most boring, defensive teams to watch in the NBA for a season, argued with Carter and Jalen Rose constantly, broke his hotel lamp in frustration at the team's play, and pissed off the team's GM to the point that they weren't on speaking terms. Suffice to say, he was fired a few days after the season and will never get another shot in the NBA (not that he would even want one).

Looking back on the game, the CATS went on a 13-2 run after Jake was called for his 4th foul, including a 9-0 run immeadiately after his exit to pretty much seal the game.

Good minutes from 'Tav, Nick and Sprads keyed it. Martavious is looking strong when he takes it to the hole lately.Posted via Mobile Device

I have to say all of the defections this season for you guys really seem to have amounted to addition by subtraction.

To go on a 9-0 run in crunch time without one of the best players in the conference is huge. K-State is playing great ball when it counts. I hope it continues tomorrow!

Hey, so as far as rivalries got, where do you guys think K-State falls when it comes to Texas and Oklahoma/TAMU?
